ABSTRACT resulting in many formats essentially describing the same things. This is in particular the case when dealing with QuakeML is an XML-based data exchange standard for seismology that is earthquake catalogs. In this domain, a plethora of formats is in its fourth year of active community-driven development. Its development being used; almost each seismic network uses a custom was motivated by the need to consolidate existing data formats for format. This continues to be an impediment in the applications in statistical seismology, as well as setting a cutting-edge, development of toolboxes for statistical seismology, because community-agreed standard to foster interoperability of distributed these codes need to provide import functionality for various infrastructures.
